THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Listen baby, let me tell you somethin'

About these crazy rich folks struttin'

They don't wanna see us free

But they better ask somebody what we had to be

Oh darlin', through all the pain

Had to break our chains

Oh darlin', through all the pain

Had to break our chains

This too shall pass, baby

this too shall pass

When they showin' their ass, baby

showin' their ass

Don't you worry child

We've been through it all before

This too shall pass

oh yes it will

When they showin' their ass

mmm hmm

They took our people 'cross the sea

Made em work and suffer just to be

Hangin' bodies from the trees

While they picnickin' underneath

But we survived, oh yes we did

Through every tear that we did shed

Baby don't you worry

don't worry

When times get hard

ohh when times get hard

Baby don't you worry

don't worry

When times get hard

Oh-oh-oh when times get hard

Mama always told me

she said

This too shall pass

When they showin their ass

This too shall pass

This too shall pass

They closin' doors and firin' folks

While they countin' all their money and tellin' jokes

But let me tell you somethin' true

About what we gonna do

We gonna stand up tall and fight

Make everything alright

This too shall pass, baby

oh it will pass

When they showin' their ass, baby

let em show it

Don't you worry child

don't you worry

We've been through it all before

This too shall pass

yes it will

When they showin' their ass

let em show it

Mmm, baby

Oh-oh baby

Let them keep on showin'

'Cause we keep on goin'
